- Several characters had their base stats modified as follows:

Note: The tables lists each character’s base stats in the Japanese version +/- the adjustment made in the English version. Amelia’s starting Level in Eirika’s Chapter 13 was reduced from 5 to 4 and Cormag’s Level 11 stats are rounded to the nearest whole number.

Chapter and boss changes
- Pablo and Riev in their second encounters were changed to keep the stats they had during their first encounter instead of receiving a boost like in the Japanese release.
- Several bosses had their stats and levels increased, and some enemy levels were increased.
- In the Japanese version of The Sacred Stones Joshua will attack and kill Natasha while he is an enemy during chapter 5 if she is in range. This was changed in the NTSC-U and the PAL releases where he does not attack her even if she is in range.
Dialogue changes
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
- In the Japanese version, Joshua tells Artur that Artur has won 15 times and lost 16 times out of 21 matches. Not only do the sum of winning and losing numbers not match to the number of matches, but Joshua even tells Artur that they are roughly even. The English version fixes this by having Joshua tell Artur that Artur has won 11 out of 21 matches.
- In the Japanese version, the support set for Garcia and Dozla involved them drinking alcohol and getting drunk. This was changed in the localization where they instead end up trying out many different weapons and end up hurting themselves in amusing ways.[1]
- There is a typo in Neimi and Gilliam's A Support. Neimi talks about Cormag when instead she should be referring to Colm. This error was caused due to Cormag being written similar to "Coma", which is Colm's Japanese name.
- In Kyle and Syrene's C Support, there is a typo where Kyle refers to Syrene as Selena. Syrene and Selena's names are pretty similar, which explains the names getting mixed-up.
- In the Japanese version, there is a typo in Syrene and Tana's B support conversation where Syrene refers to Tana as Syrene. This was corrected in the NTSC-U and PAL versions of the game.
Items
Since no distribution events were ever run for NTSC-U or PAL releases, the following items became completely inaccessible in gameplay. All of them can still be accessed through cheat devices and still function properly.

NTSC-U to PAL changes
Unless otherwise stated, all changes made between the NTSC-J and NTSC-U releases are retained in the PAL version, excluding names.
style="Template:Roundtl; border:none" width="70%" colspan="3"| | |
---|---|
style="Template:Roundtl; border:none; background-color:#222222;" | NTSC-U | style="Template:Roundtr; border:none; background-color:#222222" | PAL |
File:Ss fe8 retreat prompt us.png | File:Ss fe8 retreat prompt eu.png |
colspan="2" style="Template:Roundb; border:none; background-color:#222222" width="100%"| The PAL releases reworded the retreat prompt to avoid using spaces as padding. The NTSC-U release uses eight spaces to pad the text box to a guaranteed minimum width; if these spaces are removed the prompt does not display properly. This padding is also present in the Japanese version. |
Dialogue changes

- In Gilliam and Garcia’s C Support, Garcia calls Gilliam “Garcia” during the part where Garcia challenges Gilliam to arm-wrestle him. This same typo appeared in the Japanese version, the NTSC localization did not fix this, though the PAL version corrected this.
- The Rapier has its help description text string change from Effective against infantry.[sic] in the NTSC-U version of the game to Strong against cavalry, knights. in the PAL release.
